Are you ready to see your fixer upper?

These famous words are now synonymous with the dynamic husband-and-wife team Chip and Joanna Gaines, stars of HGTV’s Fixer Upper. As this question fills the airwaves with anticipation, their legions of fans continue to multiply and ask a different series of questions, like—Who are these people? What’s the secret to their success? And is Chip actually that funny in real life? By renovating homes in Waco, Texas, and changing lives in such a winsome and engaging way, Chip and Joanna have become more than just the stars of Fixer Upper, they have become America’s new best friends.

The Magnolia Story is the first book from Chip and Joanna, offering their fans a detailed look at their life together. From the very first renovation project they ever tackled together, to the project that nearly cost them everything; from the childhood memories that shaped them, to the twists and turns that led them to the life they share on the farm today.

They both attended Baylor University in Waco. However, their paths did not cross until Chip checked his car into the local Firestone tire shop where Joanna worked behind the counter. Even back then Chip was a serial entrepreneur who, among other things, ran a lawn care company, sold fireworks, and flipped houses. Soon they were married and living in their first fixer upper. Four children and countless renovations later, Joanna garners the attention of a television producer who notices her work on a blog one day.

In The Magnolia Story fans will finally get to join the Gaines behind the scenes and discover:The time Chip ran to the grocery store and forgot to take their new, sleeping babyJoanna’s agonizing decision to close her dream business to focus on raising their childrenWhen Chip buys a houseboat, sight-unseen, and it turns out to be a leaky wreckJoanna’s breakthrough moment of discovering the secret to creating a beautiful homeHarrowing stories of the financial ups and downs as an entrepreneurial coupleMemories and photos from Chip and Jo’s weddingThe significance of the word magnolia and why it permeates everything they doThe way the couple pays the popularity of Fixer Upper forward, sharing the success with others, and bolstering the city of Waco along the wayAnd yet there is still one lingering question for fans of the show: Is Chip really that funny? “Oh yeah,” says Joanna. “He was, and still is, my first fixer upper.”

I'm a big book reader and I will read anything. I usually don't like most books but I thought I would give this one a try bc Fixer Upper is my favorite tv show and I love the design industry. Reading this book and watching the episode "Fixer Upper Revealed" it really showed me how to own a space and make it your own. Great book that everyone should read. There's embarrassing Chip moments! (My fav parts) lol😂

Awesome Read!!!!

I love Chip & Joanna's story! I laughed, and even shed a tear or two! So inspiring how God worked through their toughest times, and how they never gave up on pursuing their dreams, and they never gave up trusting God in every circumstance! Awesome! May God continue to bless their family!

Great book. I don't think I've ever read a book so fast in my life!! This couple is so inspiring in everything that they do. I love how they have God in their lives and have shown their trust in Him through out their lives. God always provided for them when they needed it most. That inspires me to put more trust and hope in God that with a life with Him things will be ok.
